Hardly surprising coming from a nation where a third of you think dogs can get autism and about half can't read good
The difference between the US and Europe in this regard is that Europeans are a bit more discreet with their crazy people. EU have 3 times the population as the United States does, obviously they’re gonna have ~3 times more crazy people than we do. They just don’t talk much about it, while, in the US, the crazy people refuse to shut the fuck up
Edit: I mistakingly used EU instead of Europe when referring to a population of around 750 million. The EU does not have that population, but Europe, generally speaking, it does. That was my mistake.
Edit: yikes, a lot of crazy people disagree with me
Education makes a tremendous difference. Americans have mentally ill people probably at the same rate as EU, but also has ignorant people and that’s where the difference is made up. If you travel 3 hrs in USA, you’ll find the same culture. If you travel 3 hrs in Europe, you’ll be in a different culture altogether.
Culture doesn’t have anything to do with intelligence. Also, no, driving 3 hours in the US will definitely get you to a different culture, likely a different accent even. It takes 3.5 hours to get from NYC to Boston…
